The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is planning to submit an Information Collection Request to the Office of Management and Budget. This is part of their procedure under the Paperwork Reduction Act, which allows for public input on such requests. The focus is on deeming health centers as Public Health Service employees, providing them with Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) coverage. HRSA seeks public comments on the related burden estimates or other aspects, and there are no proposed changes to the application process for 2022 and beyond.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to hear from people about making sure doctors at certain health centers have the right kind of insurance to help them if they get sued for doing something wrong while helping patients. They need people's opinions about the work involved in applying for this insurance.
